TOWARD AN UNDERSTANDING OF COMMUNITY SAFETY FALL 2007 CRIME PREVENTION TIPS Prevention is the most effective means of dealing with crime. You can help to diminish crime on campus by not tolerating it. When you see a crime, report it to the Stockton Police Department. In addition, we offer you the following helpful hints: Secure your valuables, keep doors and windows locked. Value your safety and the safety of others. Employ common sense and be aware of your surroundings. Plan your route. Take well-lighted, busy walkways whenever possible. Never take shortcuts through poorly lighted areas. Don t walk alone. Get a friend to walk with you, especially at night or take advantage of Stockton s free escort program. If you must walk alone, walk near the curb. Avoid alleys, entryways, and shrubs where someone may be hiding. Have your keys ready before you get to your residence or car. If you discover that someone is following you, get to a well-lighted area and telephone the police. Never accept a ride from a stranger. We strongly recommend that you do not hitchhike. On-campus students should not allow anyone into their residence halls or apartments without first asking for proper identification. For individuals who commute to the campus, we discourage you from keeping valuables in your car including clothing, loose change or other personal items. Be alert and cognizant of your surroundings. Watch out for suspicious persons and dangerous situations. Notify the police of all suspicious persons by calling 9-1-1. Remember, many victims of crime once said, It can t happen to me. We hope that your stay at Stockton will be enjoyable and safe! 2

TOWARD AN UNDERSTANDING OF COMMUNITY SAFETY FALL 2007 A BRIEF HISTORY OF CAMPUS CRIME REPORTING In 1990, Congress authorized the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act. This act required all colleges and universities to disclose campus crime statistics and other public safety and security information. In 1998, the act was renamed to the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act in memory of a student who was slain in her dorm room in 1986. In essence the act requires the colleges and universities to collect, report and disseminate crime information to the campus community with the goal of maintaining a safe environment for students to learn, faculty to teach and for staff and administrators to work by increasing the awareness of crimes committed on campus. It is intended to provide students and their families as consumers of higher education with accurate, complete and timely information so that informed decisions can be made. The Stockton Police Department, in conjunction with the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs, the Office of the Dean of Students and the Office of Housing and Residential Life, share the responsibility for this report at The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. THE CLERY ACT The College s police department submits Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) monthly to the New Jersey State Police, Uniform Crime Reporting Unit. These reports as well as reports received from other campus divisions and offices are the means by which we gather our crime statistics for Clery Act compliance. The statistical crime information for the College is listed on page 18 of this brochure. The College also operates campuses which are defined by the Clery Act as separate campuses because they are not located on the main academic campus. These campuses are as follows: AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, Mainland Division and the Bacharach Institute for Rehabilitation, Pomona, NJ Carnegie Library Center, Atlantic City, NJ The Marine Science and Environmental Field Station, Nacote Creek, Port Republic, NJ Southern Regional Institute and Educational Technology Training Center, Mays Landing, NJ 4

TOWARD AN UNDERSTANDING OF COMMUNITY SAFETY FALL 2007 The medical center and rehabilitation institute are located on the campus property, but are on a section of the campus that is leased to these two private entities. The primary law enforcement agency for these two (2) medical facilities is the Galloway Township Police Department, with assistance from the College s Police Department. The Carnegie Library Center is in Atlantic City and the primary law enforcement agency is the Atlantic City Police Department. At this center, the college maintains a security presence within the facility during hours of operation. The Marine Science and Environmental Field Station at Nacote Creek is in the City of Port Republic. The city s primary law enforcement agency is the New Jersey State Police, but the facility is patrolled by both the State Police and the College Police. The Southern Regional Institute and Educational Technology Training Center is located in the town of Mays Landing and the primary law enforcement agency is the Township of Hamilton Police Department. The College s Police Department receives the specific crime information as defined by the Clery Act from the various law enforcement agencies noted above. The statistical crime information required by the Clery Act for these facilities is listed separately on page 19 of this brochure. However, due to the various crime collection systems, we are unable to obtain complete statistical crime information from the Atlantic City Police Department. However, as noted, we maintain a security presence within the facility and can accurately report on incidents that occur within the building proper. 5

TOWARD AN UNDERSTANDING OF COMMUNITY SAFETY FALL 2007 The Stockton Police Department PROTECTING, SERVING AND EDUCATING AMERICA S FUTURE The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey Police Department is a fully sworn and commissioned law enforcement agency and is the primary police authority responsible for maintaining law, order and safety for the campus community. The Officers are approved, certified and trained through the New Jersey Police Training Commission and as with their peers, have full police and arrest powers anywhere in the State of New Jersey. Following successful completion of the Basic Police Academy, officers attend annual in-service training and other training courses, conferences and seminars, which provides for the professional delivery of police services. Uniformed Police Officers patrol the campus community and surrounding roadways in marked police vehicles, on bicycles and on foot, ready to respond to any emergency or call for service. The police department is committed to community policing, and therefore, all officers are considered Community Policing officers, working closely with the entire college community and its neighbors in all public safety efforts. The Police Department is fundamentally concerned with the protection of life, property and all of its efforts are geared toward maintaining a safe and secure environment in which to learn, work and live. The Police Department is located on Vera King Farris Drive, between Oak Pond Drive and Pomona Road (County Rt. 575), across from the Housing IV residential complex. A Community Police/Sub-station is located within the main academic complex, upper level of the G-Wing Student Center. 6

TOWARD AN UNDERSTANDING OF COMMUNITY SAFETY FALL 2007 Cooperation The Stockton Police Department works closely with the Galloway Township Police Department, the Atlantic County Prosecutor s Office, the New Jersey State Police, and all other local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. We rely on these working relationships for support on many levels. This cooperation allows for the sharing and dissemination of critical information among all of the agencies in order to maintain an informed and safe community. Reporting Emergencies, Crimes and Other Incidents Persons should report all emergencies, crimes, and accidents on any area of the campus and any of its branches by dialing 9-1-1. The call will automatically be routed to the police-fire-medical emergency communications center. Please be sure to give your exact location and specific nature of the emergency and always stay on the line until the Communications Operator terminates the call. Non-emergent incidents can be reported by dialing extension 4390 or by dialing (609) 652-4390. Persons can also report any incident in person at the Police Department, located on Vera King Farris Drive across from the Housing IV Complex. In addition to these reporting measures, the college has installed a series of Emergency Call Boxes across the campus, many equipped with blue lights to call police in any situation. When activated, the location of each call box is automatically displayed to Police Communications and police will respond. Other campus reporting areas include, but are not limited to, all administrative and divisional offices along with the Dean of Students, J-204, the Office of Housing and Residential Life, 652-4322, the Counseling Center, 652-4722, the Office of Athletics and Recreation, 652-4217, and the Office of Student Development, 652-4205. Persons can also report crimes and other serious incidents anonymously or in confidence by calling the police department directly at 652-4390 or by e-mail at our web site by clicking on Crime Tip Line. Anonymous reports can also be made by calling the Crime Stoppers of Atlantic County at 1-800-TIPS (8477). 7

TOWARD AN UNDERSTANDING OF COMMUNITY SAFETY FALL 2007 Safety Information Awareness, prevention and involvement are the most effective means of dealing with community problems, safety concerns and crime. An involved and aware community, in cooperation with the police and other campus divisions and offices can do much to assist in these efforts and help ensure as safe and secure a campus community as possible. The college maintains a strong commitment to the safety of the entire community. In addition to crime prevention efforts, exterior lighting, landscape control and other general safety measures are critical parts of that commitment. Police Officers and college maintenance personnel are constantly conducting routine checks of lighting, walkways, roadways, buildings and grounds. Any deficiencies are reported immediately to the Office of Plant Management. Maintenance personnel are either on duty or available by recall procedures to respond to any unsafe condition. We encourage all persons to help us in these efforts by reporting any such deficiency or faulty condition they observe to the Office of Plant Management during normal business hours. After hours, contact the Police Department. The college campus is an open environment and access to buildings and grounds is extended to all persons, with limited constraints. These constraints consist of various security locking systems, which utilize special keys, on-line card access and off-line card access. Given our open environment, the campus cannot be patrolled in all places at all times. The college does not guarantee absolute safety to all persons on the campuses. Prudent personal preventive safety measures should be exercised by all persons at all times, not just on the campuses, but everywhere. In addition, the college does not have any officially recognized student organizations, including sororities and fraternities, operating off campus. EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLANNING The college has extensive emergency operations plans in place using an all hazards approach to planning. We work closely with the Galloway Township Office of Emergency Management (OEM), the Atlantic County OEM, and the New Jersey State Police OEM in developing and testing these plans. The Incident Command System (ICS) is used in the management of our plans. We test these plans several times annually and update them in accordance with our needs. We have established an Emergency Procedures booklet to assist our community in preparing for most emergencies. The booklet is available in many areas on campus including the Dean of Student s Office, Human Resources, Student Development, Police Department and many other locations. It is also available on the police department s web site, www.stockton.edu/police on the Emergency Procedures page. 8

TOWARD AN UNDERSTANDING OF COMMUNITY SAFETY FALL 2007 Crime Prevention Education Police Officers are always available to assist members of the campus community in a number of crime prevention and public safety programs. At the start of each term, in-coming students are afforded the opportunity to attend informational meetings by the Police Department. For resident students, these meetings are mandatory and are facilitated through the Office of Housing and Residential Life. Crime Alerts, Notices and Crime Logs In order to prevent crime and serious incidents, the Police Department, in conjunction with Administration and Finance, the Division of Student Affairs and the Dean of Students, issues alerts regarding crimes and/or serious incidents that occur on and around the campus community. These are issued in various ways, which include, but are not limited to, automated telephone messages, college web site, e-mails, campus television and radio broadcasts, and printed notices. Persons who have information regarding crimes or other serious incidents should report them to the Police Department and if warranted, an alert will be issued. This information can also be related to any of the various administrative offices on campus who, in turn, will notify the police and in a collaborative effort, an alert may be issued. The Police Department maintains a Daily Crime Log as outlined by law, which records crimes and serious incidents that occur on campus. The Police Department is also an active participant in the state s Uniform Crime Reporting System. The crime logs are available for public inspection at the Police Department. We reserve the right to exclude crime report information from the log in certain circumstances. Community Advisory: The federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act, amends the Violent Crime Control And Law Enforcement Act of 1994 to require sex offenders who must register under state law to provide notice of enrollment and/or employment at any institution of higher education in the state where the offender resides and to provide notice of each change of enrollment or employment status at the institution of higher education. New Jersey has a statute requiring sex offender registration. Information concerning registration of sex offenders may be obtained by accessing the New Jersey State Police web site at www.njsp.org and using the link to the New Jersey Sex Offender Registration information. 9

In addition to criminal penalties, college disciplinary action will be imposed against all violators as warranted or appropriate. College policies are based on the philosophy that community life at Stockton must demonstrate a respect for others as well as uphold the laws of the State of New Jersey. To review these policies, and others in full detail, please refer to the STUDENT HANDBOOK, which is issued to all students of the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey in print and online (www.stockton.edu/sapublications), or the UNDERGRADUATE BULLETIN.

TOWARD AN UNDERSTANDING OF COMMUNITY SAFETY FALL 2007 in New Jersey to refer to nonconsensual sexual contact and is further defined by the National Incident- Based Reporting System of the Uniform Crime Reporting System into two types, forcible sex offense or a non-forcible sex offense. The State of New Jersey has thus established the Campus Sexual Assault Victim s Bill of Rights. This articulates requirements and services designated to ensure that the needs of victims are met. The police department s primary concern is the safety of the victim. Victims are encouraged to report such crimes or attempts as it may prevent another such incident. Reporting does not mean that the victim must file criminal charges or proceed with a police investigation and prosecution. The victim maintains the ultimate decision on these matters. No matter when the assault occurred or what the victim decides to do, we encourage victims to seek professional counseling. Counseling can be the most important step in the healing process. The decision to report a sexual assault to police or to file a complaint through the college s Administrative Conduct Code is entirely the victim s choice. Reporting to police and/or filing a complaint is encouraged, but is not necessary for the victim to receive counseling or other supportive services. If the victim discloses an incident of sexual assault to a staff or faculty member, an anonymous report must be made to the Dean of Students in order to comply with the federal campus safety law. However, the victim s anonymity is of highest priority and his or her name will not be disclosed or in any way connected to the report. Other areas to report to are the College s Counseling Center located in the West Quad, 652-4722, the Dean of Students Office, in J-204, 652-4645, the Campus Ministry in G-203, 652-6811, the offices of Housing and Residential Life, located in A-100, Housing II, 652-4332 or the Lakeside Center, located in the Housing I Complex, 652-4697. In addition to being safe reporting locations, these offices work in conjunction to offer many educational programs for students and others in dealing with these types of critical incidents. Victims also have available the Atlantic County Women s Center at 646-6767, which offers victim assistance services and resources. Victims who reside on campus can also request a change in their residence and/or living arrangements. Victims will also be made aware of any results of sanctions imposed upon the accused when complaints to the Campus Code of Conduct are filed. The code has in place a series of ten (10) sanctions ranging from warning to complete expulsion from the college. The listing of sanctions can be found in the Student Handbook. 12

TOWARD AN UNDERSTANDING OF COMMUNITY SAFETY FALL 2007 HAZING Stockton recognizes that student organizations are an integral part of college. They provide an alternative, contributing to the academic and social experience. This relationship carries with it certain rights of the college to protect and preserve an appropriate environment in which such student organizations may operate. Student organizations and their members are prohibited from engaging in or encouraging others to engage in any activity that is defined as hazing under current statutes. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Domestic violence pursuant to New Jersey statutes is defined as one or more offenses, such as physical harm, bodily injury, assault or the infliction of fear of imminent physical harm, bodily injury or assault between family members, household members, residents sharing living space or dating relationships. Community members will be held accountable for actions involving any violations of the domestic violence statutes.

The College has incorporated, by reference, the prohibition of firearms and weapons on the campus properties into its Campus Code of Conduct. Members of the college community and the community at large charged with possession of a firearm or weapon on the college campus will be held accountable through the criminal justice system as well as through the appropriate administrative offices of the college. 13

TOWARD AN UNDERSTANDING OF COMMUNITY SAFETY FALL 2007 FIRE SAFETY and EMERGENCY EVACUATIONS The College and its Health and Safety Coordinator work closely with the local Fire Department and the Office of the State Fire Marshal regarding all aspects of fire safety. All residential complexes are equipped with fire alarms and sprinkler systems. They are also equipped with carbon monoxide detectors, with the exception of Housing IV, which is not serviced with natural gas. The Police Department s Communications Section, comprised of fully trained and certified operators, 24/7, monitors a fire command system, which monitors fire alarms campus wide. The residential complexes are fully addressable systems. The Office of Housing and Residential Life, in cooperation with the Police Department, conducts regular fire drills in all residential buildings. There is also a safety program for all residential students entitled, Get Out and Stay Alive, prepared by the United States Fire Administration and presented by the Police Department and the Office of Housing and Residential Life. This program is mandatory for all residential students. Residents are required to evacuate when a fire alarm is activated and are monitored by the Office of Housing and Residential Life, in cooperation with the Police Department to ensure complete compliance. Whether in a residential complex or any campus building, all persons must evacuate when a fire alarm is activated. Upon hearing the alarm and/or seeing the visual strobe light signals, persons shall assume that an emergency exists; a fire, bomb threat or other emergency and/or major operational facilities malfunction. Persons should exit the building via the nearest exit doors and move at least 300 feet from the building. Please familiarize yourself with ALL exits from where you are in the event of an evacuation. Individuals who are physically challenged or require mobility assistance and find themselves in an upper level are to exit the building at the nearest bridge that connects the buildings and await assistance from the police or fire departments. No one is to re-enter the building for any reason, unless or until a signal to do so is announced by the police or fire personnel. Failure to evacuate is a violation of the law and college policy. Violators are subject to penalties enforced by the police, fire and other college officials. 15

TOWARD AN UNDERSTANDING OF COMMUNITY SAFETY FALL 2007 Living On Campus The college provides housing for approximately 40% of the full-time student population in two distinctly different types of complexes. The apartments consist of Housing I, a 255- unit, 1020-bed garden style apartment complex. It is organized into eight courts of 32 apartments. Housing IV is a 62-unit, 250-bed apartment complex organized into buildings of eight apartments each. Two residence hall complexes offer a more traditional setting than the apartments. Housing II consists of 11 three-story buildings, which are interconnected into one building with 522 students. Housing III consists of five three-story buildings, which are connected, in a complex housing 300 students. Each floor in the residence hall is self-contained with a common entrance. Residents are issued a combination of cards and keys to access their building and room. The loss of a card and/or key must be reported to the Office of Housing and the Police Department immediately. Residents are required to register their guests and guests are not permitted in any building and/or unit without the resident present. The Office of Housing and Residential Life employs ten professional staff members for the overall management and supervision of the housing complexes. Six of these staff members reside within each of the complexes. Professional staff members are aided in their efforts by a trained student staff of Community Advisors (CA) and Assistant Community Advisors (ACA). As with any living arrangement, the responsibility of ensuring a safe environment relies on students to exercise prudent preventative safety measures. Students and their guest visitors must share responsibility for their own personal safety and the safeguarding of their property. Residents should always lock their doors and windows. They should never permit anyone into their residence without proper identification. Residents should report all suspicious individuals whom they believe do not belong in their residential complex, and any unusual incidents in and around the complexes, to the police and housing staff immediately. All students should refer to the Guest Policy within the Guide to Residential Life in the Student Handbook for more information about visiting housing areas. 16
